Great Western Short Coaches

Transitional Body Style, Single Arc Roof, Brake with 2 compartments



These styles of coach are classified by Lewis as LA4TN and LA7TN.

There was only 1 LA7TN design and no LA4TN coaches built. When the LA7TN coaches were allocated a diagram they were mixed in with similar coaches but to Lewis style LE7N. The earlier coaches listed in Diagram T45 are the coaches we are interested in here. The drawing produced for the diagram book even uses a mixture of these two styles which match none of the coaches built. So the drawing below is only useful for the side elevation and not the end view! BEWARE !!
